Resolves YES if a post made on Astral Codex Ten between 2023-09-08 and 2023-12-31 (inclusive) receives more than 500 likes by the end of 2023. UTC times will be used. The post will need to have this many likes long enough for me to confirm. Only posts by Scott count. For example, the book review contest submissions do not count (unless one of them is later revealed to have been written by Scott).
@shankypanky I agree that the screenshots are good evidence, but I don't want to go against the description I set when I created the market unless those resolution criteria miss the spirit of the market entirely. In my judgement, I will see 501 likes soon enough and the resolution criteria as written will be satisfied.
how often are you checking?
the likes seem to be alternating but there are multiple comments and screenshots proving it met market criteria. I wish I'd read that part (that you specifically need to see it whenever you're online and get to it) more carefully as this feels like a loophole and I wouldn't have participated, it's too volatile.
@shankypanky Well the market rules clearly outline that if a post gets more than 500 likes at any time it's a YES resolution, and frankly I'd like to get my Mana back.
@Kraalnaxx "The post will need to have this many likes long enough for me to confirm."
It's back at 500 now
Same I was being sarcastic :)
Especially since it apparently tipped over 10h ago per an earlier comment (without screenshot unfortunately) and then dropped under again.
It's frustrating that the post needs to remain at 501+ until the creator sees it despite screenshots as who knows how often they're keeping tabs?
I see it back at 499 https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/my-left-kidney
Edit: now 498, lol
But web archive disagrees ๐ค

There's 500
@DanMan314 Haha someone appears to have taken your advice, it just went from 499 to 498.
@LeatherComputer Scott has the largest NO position on this market, we're helping him profit!
@DanMan314 Yeah, and if this works, it'll bring more publicity to the kidney post! #new_ea_cause_area
